What if we're junkies who fight the itch. I don't have much, and never have. But, I want it all. I know what it all does, I want to do those things with it, and I want it bad. All of it. All of the stuff.

I just know that I can't have it and probably wouldn't use it, anyway. So, I make due with a gear "master plan" like a city planner. I identify my future needs and have a plan to reasonably acquire gear when I will be able to do so.

But, every time I see some great lens or camera (that is not even on the master plan, mind you) on cragslist, I start running numbers to see if I can buy it right now. Today it was an 85 1.8, tomorrow it will be something else. It's every day.
